- Doodle Mafia is the EGS freebie of the week
- Jump in and solve the crimes, or commit them yourselves
- Combine elements to outwit criminals or cops in this new take on the doodle franchise
You’ve probably played Doodle Kingdom before, and enjoyed the fun of creating and interacting with new elements. This simple puzzle concept opens up a world of fun and creativity. But now you can get beyond swords and sorcery, and get into crimes and gunplay instead with Doodle Mafia!
As the Epic Games Store’s freebie of the week, Doodle Mafia is completely free to play and keep. What’s it all about? Well, nothing short of cops vs robbers with an interesting twist. Like with Doodle Kingdom, it’s up to you to sketch the scene from a quiet street to a chaos-filled caper.
To do so, you’ll use the traditional doodle mechanics of taking one element and combining it with another. By doing so, you’ll slowly fill up the scene and solve each puzzle. Put a person together with a crime to get a criminal, use a criminal with a vault to rob it, and so on and so forth.
Hardline
Of course, you won’t just be taking on the role of a criminal, as Doodle Mafia also lets you beat the crimewave as the coppers! With 500 puzzles to solve and items to discover, Doodle Mafia offers nearly endless replay value.
Considering how much fun the original Doodle Kingdom is, I’m surprised not to have heard of Doodle Mafia sooner. But if the departure from the fantasy-style setting put you off before, now you’ve got no reason not to jump into Doodle Mafia and give it a go for yourself!
And if you’re still hungry for more, well, you’re in the right place. Be sure to check out our list of the top five new mobile games to try this week. This regular feature offers the top launches from the last seven days that we’ve hand-picked from a variety of platforms for all players!
